A ELOQUENCE AND LOYALTYl—Whatever may he the state of the ancient city a York at present, the following extract from the speech, addressed by ThomasViddrington, Esq. the Recorder, to Charles I. shows that it once produced a genius. The Oration was made at Micklegate Bar, March 30th, 1639, and is most undoubtedly deserving of its place in Drake's Antiquities . " Most dread and gracious Soveseign, be pleased to pardon this stay, that we the least and meanest motes in the firmament of your Majesty's Government, should thus dare to cause you, our Night and glorious sun to stand. Give us leave, who are the members of this ancient and decayed city, to make known unto , your Majesty, even stir sun itself, where the sun now stands—in the city of York, which now, like an ill-drawn picture, needs a name: a place so finlike itself, that I may venture to say, Niobe teas never so unlike Niohe, never old man so unlike himself being Yining, as is the,city of York, so unlike the city of York; hereto fore an Imperial city, the place of the life and death of the Em- Peror Ousstamtine.—Chlorus, in whose grave a burning lamp Ira* found m an y ages a ft erwar d s , an d th e births, lives, and deaths of tmperors, are not so much for the honour of York, as that King Charles Wits once Duke of York: your very royal aspect surmounts : our former glory, awl scatters our later clouds; the beam* and lightning, of those eminent virtues wherewith you are endowed, do cast so forcible reflections upon the eyes , of all men, that you fill not only this city, this kingdom, but the whole universe, with splendour. For ourselves, most generous °Wiener, the best of sacrifices, is the only sacrifice we have to offer so your most sacred Majesty; yet vouchsafe to believe, most Mighty King, that eveu our works, such as they are, shall not resemble those sacr ifi ces, svhereout the heart is plucked, and where of all the head nothing is left but the, tongue : our sacrifices are those of our hearts, not of our tongue& The memory of King Charles shall ever be sacred unto us as long as there remains an altar, or that oblation is offered 'on earth. The most devout and fervent prayers of your Majesty's daily votaries, the poor citizens o fYork, a re , an d ever s h all be, that the scept re o f King Charles ilYt like :Aaron'e,rod, bud an d bl ossom, and be an eternal testi n Y siabut all rebels ' • and that this ki ng d om may never want a Charles over it." AN AP PARITION.—.The following strange story is related byaman by Mr. Smith,of „ _ employed the. ck s Head, Nottingham,f in the capacity o a chaise driver :—He states, that a few evenings h • since, having been etra, , aged to 'convey a gentleman from . the res &nee o Lady Manvers, at ome-Pi rer epont to this town, I Ae was waiting near entrance of the man sion, with his . chaise told horses, for h . about ten o'clock, when lie was suildetir passenger, the appearance of a female figtire arra y ed start :startled by white. He was convincod in his own mind array ed e w as some thing stipernktural in its shape, not merely by the ex traordinary.sensation he himself felt, but by the rest lessness and anxiety sho wn by the horses. The figure passed on ; but though relieved from its pre 'once, he was only freed from the intense state of alarm he had been thrown into by the arrival of his passenger, who found him with his hair literally stand ing on mu end from fright. He p rocee d e d on h is journ e y to Nottingham ; but on passing through Rolme-line, some considerable time after his first /law of the apparition, he-was horrified by its , Pearance a second time. The horses were 4lot less alar med, and made a full stop, " sweating," as the states, ." every por.” With some diffi eutty he urged them on, and a third ti me h e met t h e heeetre, a V e etret but t such a distance from the pl ace w h ere first observed it, that no human creature on foOt Pula have passed over the ground in the time.

Present—Sir John Smith, Bart.; E. B. Portman, Esq. M. P.; J. H. Bastard, Esq.; and the Rev. George The cases before the Magistrates possessed little in .crest. The Magistrates discovered every thing rather than an indisposition to the publication of their proceedings, and the reporter learned from one of them that the unanimous f ee ling of the Bench was, that any portion of the public should be freely admitted, esp ec i a ll y t h at no reporter should be excluded. Mr. Okeden-(who was one o f the Wimborne Magistrates) • was in the Court at the com mencement of the business, and Obseried, in answer to a question from the reporter, that some mistake as to his views had occurred, for he was always of opinion, an d h a d ever acted upon the opinion , that the judicial proceedi ngs of Magistrates could not have too much publicity. Whether the petty proceedings of the Sessions were proper subjects of notice in the London Papers was another question. It aPPetws that a county meeting Will' be convened in a few months, for the purpose of submitting the plan o f t h e Friendly Society to the public, and that it is intended at that time to propose many new Directors, for the election of the parties who may choose to become members. This town is the centre of 31 parishes, the inhabitants ,of which resort to i t as t h e i r mar ket-town and the seAt o f j u stice.

Verd --Macclesfield 'Herald. lci--" A cc id enta l Death. TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1826. MURDER. (From the Carlisle Patriot of Saturday.) A great sensation was excited in Carlisle yesterday after noon, by a report that a woman had been murdered in a field at St. Nichola s , j ust outs i de the sout h ern su b ur b o f t h e city. The rumour was too correct. Many persons hastened to the spot, and there they found, weltering in her blood, mortally wounded, a woman named Mary Brown. The perpetrator of the critne is Philip Tinncley, amen who has usually had a s t a ll i n C arl i sle market, and sold cotton b alls and other small w ares . I t appears ' that B rown was a woman of loose character. Her husba n d, Henry Brown, is a white smith at Whiteh aven; and it is said, coha bi t s w i t h another woman. -He lately res id e d at Penr i t h ; b ut i s a nat i ve o f Wetheral, near Carlisle. He and his Wife had lived sepa rately for some time past, originating, we are informed, in her unchaste and disorderly conduct. Thus left to herself, she pursued the path' of vice,- tuid4lL in with Tinneley, With whom she indulged In iMptoper intercourse; never theless, they often quarrelled. At length, on Wednesday last, it would appear, Tinneley induced her to accompany him into the field spoken of, where he inflicted several mortal wounds upon her head with a hammer. The poor woman fell tinder the blows, apparently dead; and Tinneley stood over her, with an intention of burying the body : but she at this moment opened her eyes , and looked upon him so reproachin g ly,. t h at h e shrunk from his purpose, and quitted the field. He then went 14 or 15 miles into Scot land; but conscience-stung, returned, and on Thursday afternoon repaired to the spot where he had left his victim, and was horror-struck at finding her still living. He hastily retired from the scene of block!, and went to the houses of some of his acquaintance, to whom he confessed the deed that he had done. The unfortunate woman was removed to her former lodging, where she died this morning at three o'clock. Tinneley was taken into custody on Thursday evening, and is now in gaol. . Soon after ten this forenoon (Friday), Richard Lowry, Esq. Co r , held an inquest, on view of the body, at the house of - llra. Nancy Irving, sign of the Jovial Butcher, Botchergate. The age of the deceased was 26 years. Ann Irving, of Botchergate, innkeepe r , sworn.—A man with a whi te h at ( w h o i s now in custody) came into my house about fouro'clock yesterday afternoon, and sat down, and asked me if I had heard of the woman that was mur dered in Botchergate. I said " No." lie then said there was one murdered, and he was the man who did it; he ob served he had been fourteen miles into Scotland, and had come back to, give himself up. I inquired who the mur dered Wonsan was, where she lived, and what was her name ! he said they' called her Brown, and that , she was a bad *omen. The man th en sa id not hi ng more, bat got up and went out towards the old workhouse. I thought he was deranged, and turned frightened at him. He had nothing to drink ; but had been in my house several times before. He was quite collected in his appearance. He took out a handkerchief and began to cry. I desired an Irish girl, named Sally Jones, to go after him to the old workhouse,. to see if he confessed any thing there respecting the murder. She returned in a few minutes, and said it was true; the' man had confessed, and the woman had not been at home all night. I sent the girl to the old workhouse (the place where the deceased lodged) because the man went in there. He said he rettsined ihnn Scotland " beeanie Ise could not bide it." Ruth Williamson.--I live under where the deceased lodged. I heard that the prisoner and the deceased bad gone off together; and when I saw him on Thursday, I asked him if he had returned. He said, "Returned! Where have I been ?" The prisoner had visited the deceased for six or eight weeks, occasionally. They call him Philip Tinneley ; but I never knew his name before yesterday. The deceased and prisoner always appeared to he on terms of intimacy until Sunday week, when he, struck,her, and followed her dO wn sta i rs i n a great rage, Sowing vengeance against her; but he had no weapon in his hands. He made use of several wicked expressions to the deceased. I told him I thought he had little to do to come lf3 or 20 miles to fight with women-folk. He made no further search, and returned me no answer. I went into my house, and locked myself in. The deceased had hid berself from him under a neighbour's bed, in a room ad joining to mine, and prisoner went away. I said to the deceased, if She submitted to such lik e f o lk, s h e was ri g h t served. She replied; it was Sunday, and she did not like to make any disturbance. The' deceased was not a woman of good character. I saw the . prisoner on Wednesday (the day of the murder;) but did not see them go out together. I saw the priSoner when he came in yesterday, about ten minutes past four : he said " Where's Mary Brown; have you heard any thing of her ?" I said, " I have heard nothing: - where is she ?" He then said, "I've killed her ; I've hammered her brains out." I fainted from fear, but as soon as I recovered my strength, I left the house and him sitting in it. When I was running out of the room, ho ordered inc to stop, and said he would take me to the place where the deceased was. I ran into a house in which there was a young man named Story, wh om requested to go into my room, as there was a man who had murdered Mary Brown. I then gave information to other persons in a weaving shop, when one of them named Edward M'Bride, went to our house, locked the door, and found the prisoner in Richard Story's honse. I then fol lowed with a number of others, and asked the, prisoner what Mary said to him when he was Murdering her.— He said he would tell me afterwards ; but he never did. Prisoner told me afterwards, on the same day, that he went away for the purpose of leaving her ; but that he had turned back determined, he said, to see the far end of her; and he just went and killed her, because he wished to die for her sake; as she would not live with him. I accompanied the prisoner and a crowd of people to the spot where the deceased was lying, which was a field near Botchergate. I knew th e d ecease d ; she but s t ate; saw that the she was breathing.wa Botentlidelidy notdea , d ea , am bt i tt ne in her a hd d e y a ing ; fore finger of her right hand was cut and broken. The • right side of the deceased's head and face were very bloody. I saw the deceased when they brought her home ; it might be about two hours after; and she died about three o'clock this morning. Prisoner said that her finger was broken by the second blow - on account o f t h e deceased holding u p h er h an d to defind herself; he did it with a hammer, which he afterwards threw away, but said he did not know wheie he threw it. Other witnesses c-orroborated this testimo n y. Felix Rock, constable of Boteheilate.--I took the Fri- loner in Custody on Thursday afternoon about five o'clock, in consequence of information I received from • the witness Thursby, that a woman was lying murdered in a field be longing to Mr. Studholme, and that the ma n was there who had done it. The deoeased was lying on her back, about three yards from the prisoner, whom I took to the Clerk of the Peace's office; but there being no magistrates present, I conveyed him to gaol without examination. When I took the prisoner first in custody he said_..' I a i r , t h e ma n who has done it, and I -hope I shall suffer for it." In the Clerk of the Peace's Office the p r i soner ' confessed hour bete ered re htheeddideceased ; and a l so sa i d that he it, that h e i ntended to flair dttohelardt her, illieehad r an and that he s aw sonic gentlem en s h oot i ng in: a, field, whom he thought would be coming t h at way and" prevent him,' hut they did not come, a n d so he murdered q ' I 4 ` r A ll ll i , ,t, a's # 4:ll's .

The prisoner seemed much distressed in his mind; he wept, and had a handkerchief in his hand. Mr. haws Marrs, surgeon, and Dr. Atkinson, deposed that any one of the wounds was suffident to cause death. John Armstrong, constable, produced a quantity of clothes ' which were literally s t e ep e d i n gore . Th e mar k s on the but had been evidently struck with a round-headed instrument resembling a hamtncr. The constable got the clothes produced from Mary Graham, where the deceased lodged; but he did not s e e th em t a k en f ro m her body. The Coroner aked the prisoner his mime, when he audibly replied, ".Philip Tinneley." Mr. Lowry informed him that he did not wild' him to make any confession ; when the prisoner coolly replied, " I have made one already." The Jury retired, (merely for form's sake, for they were perfectly satisfied), and in three or four minutes returned, finding a verdict of " Wilful Murder against Philip Tin,- neley. The prisoner is a diminutive man of unprepossessing.ti terior, and altogether very shabby in his appearance.— Whilst Armstrong, the constable, was showing the Jury the bloody clothes of the deceased, the prisoner stood with his hat partly over his face, eyeing them askance. A copious perspiration spread over his face, and the convulsirfe heav ing of his breast clearly indicated the emotions contendirig within. But though he -was apparently labouring under much mental suffering, when spoken to by the Coroner, he returned a very ludible and collected answer. During the. time he was before the Jury, he stood with his eyes Closed, and only opened them to look upon the clothes of the deceased, which he had so shockingly stained with her flood. There was a dark scowl upon • his countenance, which gave to his person a forbidding and rather terrific appearance. SINGULAR CASE OF RECOVERY OF SIGHT. The following ease is from the .Philosophical Transac. lions just published:—When about six months old the patient, who was born blind, was placed under a Parisian oculist, who performed an operation on both eyes. The operation proved unsuccessful, the right eye was attacked with inflammation and completely destroyed, and in the left the vision was not restored. The lady continued in this situation till after she had reached her forty-sixth year, when she applied to Mr: Wardrop. This gentleman found the right eye-ball collapsed, but the left possessing its natural globuled form, with a transparent. cornea, - but obliterated pupil. She mull distinguish a very dark from a light room, but was not able to perceive the situatiowof the windoW from which the light came. -On the 26th of January, he operated on this lady, after which she could perceive more light, although she was unable to distinguish either forms or colours. ihe result of the first attempt justified the favourable views entertained of the state of the retina, and the propriety of a seco n d o p erat i on , was determined on. On the Bth of February, Mr. Wardrop repeated the operation, after which the power of vision was not: nitch increased. The operation was again performed ort•tte'l7th of the same month, with complete succ ess . She returned hom e i n a carriage from the house in which the operation was performed, with her eye covered only with a loose piece of silk. The first thing she noticed, was haekney-coach passing, when she biai t 1 " What is that large thing that has passed by us ?" In the course of the evening she requested her brother to show her his watch, concerning which she expressed much curiosity, and she looked at it a considerable time, holding it close to her eye. She was asked what she saw, and she said there was a dark and a bright side; she pointed to the hour of 12, and smiled. ller brother asked her if she saw any thing more? she replied, " Yes," and pointed to the hour of 6, and t o th e h an d s o f t h e watc h. She then looked at the chain and seals, and observed that one of the seals was bright, which was the case, being a solid piece Of rock crystal. The next day Mr. Wardrop asked her to look again at ' the watch, which she refilsed to do, saying that the light was offensive to her eye, and that she felt very stupid; meaning, that she was much confused by the visible world thus for the first time opened to her. On the third day she observed the doors on the' opposite side of the street, and asked if they were red, but they were hi fact of an oak colour. In the evening she looked at her brother's face, and said that she saw his nose ; he asked her to touch it, which she did; he then slipped a handker chief over his face, and asked to look spin, when she playfully pulled it off, and naked, What is that ?" On the sixth day, she told us that she saw better than she had done on any preceding - Ally ;." but I cannot tell what Ido see;. I am" quite stupid." She seemed, indeed, he. wildered from' not being able to combine the knowledge acquired by the senses of touch and sight, and felt disap pointed in not having the , power of distinguishing at once, by her eye, objects which she could Bo 'readily distinguish from one another 'by feeling them. On the seventh day she took notice of the mistress of the house in which she lodged, and observed that she was tall. She asked whit the colour of her gown was ? To which she was answered, that it was blue;" so is that thing on your bead," she then observed; which was the case : " and your handkerchief, that is a different colour ;" which was also correct. She added, " I see you pretty well, I think." The tea-cups and saucers underwent an examination " What are they like ?" her brother asked her. " don't know," she replied; " they look very queer to me ; hut I can tell what they are in e minute when I touch them." She distinguished an' orange on the chimney piece, but could form no notion of what it was till she touched it. She seemed now to have becorne more cheer- lid, and entertained greater expectation of comfort from her adinission into the visible world; and she was very sanguine that she would find her newly-acquired faculty of more Use to her when she returned home, where every thing was faMiliar to her. On the eighth day, she asked her brother, when at dinner, What he was helping himself to 'r" and when she was told it was a glass of port wine she replied," Port wine is dirk, and lOoks to me very ugly." She observed when candles were brought into . the rani,' her brother's face in the mirror, as well as that of a lady who was pre sent; she also walked, for the first time without assistance, from a chair to a sofa' which was on the opposite side of the room, and back again to the chair. When at tea, she took notice of the tray, observed the shining of the japan work, and asked, " What the colour was round the edge ?" she was told that it was yellow; upon which - she remarked, " I will know that again. Eighteen• . motions,ts h e r f fed, Mr. Wardrop attempted to aseertain . by a few ex days aft - er the last operation ~liad been petiole precise notions .of the colour, size, forth, po.. and distances of .external objects: She saw the difference of colours; that is, she received s i i v tiz noy and was sensible of different impression s from different colours. When pieces of paper one an d a h alf inch square, itrigdifferently s iitishe co d themloured' were presented to h er, she not only dat once one from another, but gave a d e cided preference to some col ours , liki ng yellow most, and thml Paciit pink. It may be h ere mentioned, that when de sirousxam.ining•an obje c t, s h e had considerable diffi cultyin directing her, eye to i t, an d f i nding out its position, , ar i ng her hand as well as her ey e i n var i ous direct i ons , as a permit ' when blindfolded, or in the dark, grtniefi with hi s h a nds for what h e wishes to touch. She also distin guished a large from a small obj ect , *h e ' ll t h ey were boll,. held up before her for c om pa r i son, she s „ s ia sh e s aw dit- Arent forms in various objects which were shown to ter. On asking what she meant by different forms, such as long, round, and square, and desiring her to draw with her finger these forms on her other hand, and then presenting to her eye the respective forms, she pointed to them exactly; she not only distinguished small from large objects, but knew what was meant by above and below; to prove which, a figure drawn with ink was placed before her eye, having one end broad, and the other narrow, and she saw the po sitions as they really were, and not inverted. She could also perceive Motions; for when a glass of water was placed on the table before her, on approaching her hand near it, it was moved quickly to a greater distance, upon which she immediately said, " You move it ; you take it away." She seemed to have the greatest difficulty in finding out the distance of any object; for when an object was held close to hex eye, she would search for it by stretching: her hand far beyond its position, while, on other occasions, she groped close to her own face for a thing far removed fmm her. She learned with facility the names of the different co lours, and two days after the coloured papers had been shown to her, Oil coming into a room, the colour of which was crimson, she observed, that it was red. She also ob served some pictures haniiing on the red wall of the room in which she was sitting, distinguishing several small figures in them, but not knowing what they represented, and ad- miring the gilt frames. On the same day she 'walked round the pond in St. James's-square, and was .pleasedwith the glistening of the sun's rays on the Water, as well as with the blup sky and green shrubs, the colours of which she named correctly. It may be here observed, that she she had yet acquired 'fy the use ffer sight, but, very little knoilledge of any forms, and was unable to apply the information gained by this new sense, and to compare it with what she bad been accustomed to acquire by her sense of touch. When, therefore, the experiment was made of giving her a silver pencil-case and a large key to examine with her hands, she discriminated and knew each distinctly; but when they were placed on the table, side 'by side, though she distin guished each with her eye, yet she could not. tell which was the pencil-case and which was the key. From this period till the time of her leaving London, on the 31st of March, being forty-two days after the opera tion, she had acquired a pretty accurate notion of colouri, their different shades and names. Her knowledge of dis tance and of forms was very incomplete, and there was oni siderable difficulty in directing the eye to an object. She, however, entertained the hope, that when sbe got houie, her knowledge of external things would be more accurate and intelligible, and that when she came to look at those objects which had been so long familiar to her touch, the confusion, which the multiplicity of external objects now caused, would in a great measure subside. There is no other case on record of the sight being restored at such an advanced age; in the celebrated in stance recorded by Chiselden, in the 35th volume 'of the Transactions of the Royal Society, the boy, who was Also born blind, received his sight at the age of fourteen. In that case, also, the boy could distinguish, before the operation, black, white, and scarlet, and when in good light, he had that degree of sight which generally continues in an eye affected with cataract; whereas in the lady whose case we have given above, the pupil being completely closed, no 'light could reach to the retina except such as could pass , through.the substance of the iris.

ACCIDENT OFF WOOLWICH, THREE PERSoNS DROWNED.—OR Sunday MOTaillg, Mr. Brown, jun., the son of the master intendant of 'Wool. with Dock-yard, Mr. Cranch, feather-dresser, of Wilson -street, Moorfields, and another gentleman, attended by one of the men from the Dock-yard, Went on an excursion of pleasure in a sailing boat, when, from some cause, not yet ascertained, the boat was upset, and Mr. Cranch, Mr. Brown, and the boatman, net a watery grave, the other gentleman was .saved. ' r. ernneb's body was found shortly after the accident, but too late for resuscitation. The other bodies have not yet been found. DANGERS OF THE ICE-BERGs.— , 4 The ice soon beginning to dose around Us, our progress became so slow, that on the 17th (July) we saw a ship at the margin of the park, an d t wo more on the following day. • We supposed these to be whalers, which, after trying to cross the ice to the northward, had returned to make the attempt in the present latitude ; (71.02.) ; a supposition which our subsequent difficulties-served to strengthen. From this time, indeed, the obstruc tions froni the quantity, magnitude, and closeness of the ice, were such as to keep our people constantly employed in heaving, warping, or sawing through it, and yet with so little success, that at the close of the month of July, we had only penetrated seventy miles to the westward, or to the longitude of about 62. 10. Hera, while closely beset, on the Ist of August, we encountered a hard gale from the south-east, which pressing the ice together in every direction; by mass overlaying mass for hours together, the' Hecla received several very awkward nips, and was once fairly laid on her broadside by a strain which must inevitably have crushed a vessel of ordinary strength. In such cases, the ice is forced under a ship's bottom, on one side, and on the other up her side ; both powers acting: in such a manner as to bring her on her beam-ends. This is, in fact, the most favourable manner in which a ship can receive the pressure, and would, perhaps, 'only occur with ice comparatively net very heavy, though sufficiently so, it is said, to have run complete over a ship in someextreme and fatal cases. With ice of still more formidable dimensions, a vessel would, probably, by an equal degree of pressure,"ha absolutely crushed, in consequence of the increased difficulty of sinking, it on on e side, a nd causing it to rise on the othee---' Captain Pirirjs Third J'oyage. wo tl oi i t o li u l We learned yesterday, from authority whi c h we can notsot hh f e t t l h i e e xe ( I: le r ap e s -; the loan of 8,000,0 doubt, that of taieannt of t e . a 7 r o , o tl , l o e l) % o whole h eseunm paidhas a i l t r i ea ti d d y l: instalment is not due till January.
